VEGGIES: Roasted Corn Salad with a Honey Lime Dressing

VEGGIES: Roasted Corn Salad with a Honey Lime Dressing

As you know, E and I have been getting a weekly box of fresh produce from one of the local farms here in New Jersey, called Stony Hill Farms.  Every Wednesday, it is such a fun surprise!

This weeks box included one of my favorite summer vegetables — CORN.  It is so versatile and delicious! And it is extra sweet in the summer! I really love grilled or roasted corn on the cob. Today I decided to roast the corn with some onion powder and paprika in the oven on the cob. Once done, I cut it off the cob and threw it into a bowl with some of my other favorite veggies. I wanted a dressing to tie it all together so I thought something sweet and tangy would be nice. Hope you enjoy this fresh summer salad as much as I did!
